There Is but little activity in business, and anici-
pGtiOLs for the fall trade about as fiat at pres
ent as the city traffic. The drouth in the section
tributary to Austin, extending ten miles to the
south and forty to the north and west dating
from our last rain on June s, begins to look e1-
tremely ugly. II rain comes not in few days, the
cotton crop must again be failure which, on top
of the partial failure of last year, is not very en-
liyening prospect. There have not been many
changes IN the prices current in Austin during the
past week.

Arrest of a Crank Who Has Threatened

Issued to Indianains To-Day.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE findings of
the Court of Inquiry into the allegations OF
maladministration and irregularities on
the part of Colonel Frank Wheaton, Sec
ond Infantry, late commanding officer,
and First Lieutenant E. l.. Clark, Second
Infantry, late Acting Assistant Quarter
master at Fort Cour D'Alene, Idaho, have
been made public. The court is of the
opinion that while the actions of the ac-
cused may have had their origin in zeal
Gus desire to create military post for
which no adequate appropriation had been
made, the methods and processes were de-
plOrable, and were greatly to the detri-
ment OF the service and subversive OF all
discipline; that through the disregard of
law and regulations by officers concerned
the lawlessness was engendered, which,
when it reached the enlisted men OF the
command, greatly demoralized them and
scandalized the army.
The President, in approving the proceed
ings of the court, concurs in its opinion
that the methods and processes employed
by Colonel Wheaton and Lieutenant Clark
were deplorable, subversive of discipline
and detrimental to the service. He says,
however, that Notwithstanding the repre-
hensible conduct of those officers, and the
unlawful complexion of the transactions
exposed by this inquiry, the fact that some

made apparent by an examination of the
record, or obtaining satisfactory evidence
to support the charges upon which a trial
might be had; the consequent uncertainty
attending the result of such a trial and
the great expense and Inconvenience
which would be occasioned thereby, con-
strain him to advise that further proceed
ings upon the accusations investigated by
the court of inquiry be abandoned.

ISOLATION, in whose behalf it was accepted
by Captain S. c. Wagner.
Lieutenant William Sawyers, on behalf
of the battery. then thanked Colonel
Cowan for his efforts to bring about this
dedication and make it q success.
Perhaps the most interesting incident of
the whole dedication was the presentation
by Colonel Cowan to the Pickett Division
Association of a sword which he took dur
ing Pickett's famous charge. 1t is about
three feet long, the handle OF mother Of
pearl and the blade OF hnely-polished
steel. The way it came into the possession
of Colonel Cowan was thus: During the
charge q very young rebel officer jumped
toward the gun at which he was standing,
but was Immediately shot down and his
sword fell at the Colonefs feet. He kept
it. out has never been able TO restore it to
the family of the officer, and he has now
given it TO the division in order that they
may take measures to see that it is returned
TO the proper persons.
Major J. G. Croker, of Virginia, ac-
cepted it in the name OF the Pickett Di.
vision Association, promising to do all
that was possible to find the family OF the
officer.
Colonel Cowan then introduced General
Badly Smith and General Hunt to the as
sembly, by whom they were received with
cheers.

WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY.
Yield of Winter wheat-The Fruit
Prospect.

CHICAGO, July 3-The following crop
summary will appear in this weeks issue
of the Farmers Review: Reports on the
yield OF the winter wheat crop are now
coming in, and thus far corroborate our
previous statements as to the shortage
that might be expected. Missouri leads in
her average and is followed by Illinois,
Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and
last by Kansas, whsre chinch bugs
have cone very serious damage. As yet
the reports on the average yield of the
winter wheat crop are Just beginning to
come in, but the following from the differ
ent States probably furnishes a correct in
dicatiOn of the final results of the harvest.
Twelve counties in Illinois report an aver
age of seventeen bushels and four
counties place the average condition of
the crop at as per cent. Nine counties In
Indiana place the average at fourteen
bushels, and three counties the average
condition at 20 per cent. Seven counties
in Michigan report an average yield OF
fifteen bushels. Eleven counties in Ohio
report a yield Of thirteen bushels, while
five counties report the condition at 50
per cent. The yield in twelve Missouri
counties is eighteen bushels, and the con-
dition in three is los per cent. Five
counties In Kentucky place the yield at
six cen bushels. In Kansas nine counties
report an average yield of eleven bushels,
and five an average OF So per cent. Seven.
teen counties in Illinois complain Of dam
age to crops by drought. Like complaints
come from six counties in Indiana. and
thirteen Kansas counties report damage
from insects and drought. Rain is needed
in Kentucky and Wisconsin, and six Mis-
souri, counties complain of damage by
drought.
The condition of the spring wheat in the
different States is as follows: Seventeen
counties in Iowa report an average condl-
ton of "a per cent, while thirteen counties
In Minnesota place 1t at 75 per cent. Eleven
counties in Nebraska report an average OF
Sc per cent. and the same number in Da-
kota place 1t 80 per cent
As was expected, the hay crop turns out
light, and pastures were nearly everywhere
dry.
Prospects for crop of apples in the
West are fair to middling. In many places
the fruit is dropping from the trees.

THE GUARD Ar LOGAN's GRAVE.
Efforts of the Rector of Rock Greek Church
to Have IL Removed


WASHINGTON, July 2.-As is well known,
the remains of General Logan we're tempo.
rarily deposited in Rock Creek Cemetery
here, pending their removal to Chicago. A
guard of soldiers has been kept stationed at
the tomb. The rector of the Rock Creek
Church called ON Mrs. Logan with refer
ence 10 the removal of the guard several
weeks ego. Mrs. Logan, in an interview
later, declared that she would have the re-
mains brought to her house if the guard
should be removed. The rector, in card
published in an evening paper, defends his
position in the matter. He says:
The rector OF Rock Greek and its parish
authorities have undergone no change in
their deep sympathy with Mrs. General
Logan in her heavy bereavement, much
less has there been any desire felt or ex-
pressed to withhold any honors due her
late husband, General Logan, or otherwise
than welcome his remains, so sacredly
cherished by herself, to their present beau
tiful and most holy resting place. For
sundry reasons thereto impelling him, the
rector thought the time had come when
the military guard, which was placed near
the tomb at the request of the family of
General Logan, II ever proper, should be
removed.
ITO this end, after due consultation,
he deemed it best to see Mrs. Logan to say
of the vestry to take action for the removal
of the guard, but before doing so thought
1t best 10 confer with her on the subject. She
expressed herself as very decidedly op-
posed to the removal; that she could not
bear anything to happen, and that there
would be no safety without a guaru. From
this conclusion he told he differed entirely,
but if these were her convictions he asked
could she not consent to a removal of the
soldiers from the church grounds by day,
they to come in and stand watch by night
and to retire In the morning, thus largely
If not entirely, removing further ground of
complaint.
These are the facts in the case. There
was no refusal, nor is there now, to a
guard as long as wanted, but to the con-
tinuatlon of an encampmeDt in grounds so
near the church and most holy The
rector had no motive in seeking an inter-
view with Mrs. Logan but peace and quiet
ness, and as far as possible prevent any
thing that might be annoying to herself.
His desire was, and still is that as at her
request and by his permission the guard
was brought in, so at his request and by
her permission it should be removed. This
he still hopes Mrs. Logan will early see the
propriety of doing, and save both him.
self and the vestry from further action.
The corporation will soon be called to.
gether and, so far as the rector knows, will
be of one mind and one Judgment"
